It needs some fixes to get running. But this has a good story and was one of the best games of it's era. You can't MAKE games like this anymore either when it comes to writing. Welcome to a good game where HR wasn't in the room and a female protag kicks ass! Using a QOL mod, this game could use a remaster utilizing the mod. Find my post in the discussion section to get it running in 2026 on Win 11

It's a bit jank and the battles are slow but it has a lot of charm, good voice acting and the world is cool and unique.

A Forgotten Gem of an Experimental Era Septerra Core is an unusual RPG from a distant past, a bold project from a time when game designers weren't afraid to take risks. It went down in history as one of the first JRPGs created in the West, and it still stands out for its unique character. Strengths: Unique Setting: The action takes place in a multi-layered world, where each layer has its own unique culture, society, and technology. Memorable Characters: The heroes are not formulaic and remain memorable. Weaknesses: Long Backtracking: Midway through the game, a series of quests arises that forces you to constantly backtrack through previously completed locations, fighting your way through crowds of monsters. Lack of a Quest Log: This is the main drawback for the player. You can't put the game down for long – it's easy to forget what you need to do and where to go. Verdict: Despite its technical rough edges, Septerra Core is a classic and unique JRPG. It's definitely recommended for anyone tired of formulaic fantasy worlds and looking for a truly unique adventure.

The combat could use an overhaul for sure, but the story is good. I am enjoying the game.

June 2025

Classic, by the books turn-based RPG with a few novel mechanics/systems and a great use of the Active Time System that Final Fantasy rode to nominal success through the 90's. The world is so evocative by its very design and the story compliments it well in many places. Navigating that world is more burdensome than it should be, however, and the level/map design leave a lot to be desired. Some of the puzzles are laborious to a fault, and tedious in a bad way; while the solutions reward attentiveness and world engagement here and there, the game still 'feels long' due to the excessive backtracking and maze-like stage layout, amplified by combat that is fun but lengthy and somewhat repetitive (like many turn-based RPG's of the time). Still, this for me was a formative RPG experience and one I hold a lot of love for. Revisiting it recently, there's still a lot to appreciate about Septerra Core as someone with a wealth of its memories. That said, outside of the conceit of its setting and the overall texture of its world, it may fail to impress a modern audience. If you like exploring the ruins of old RPG game design, this is a worthwhile gem to polish...just watch out for all the rough edges. Also, you may need to download a community patch for the game to work properly, this game does not like modern OS's.
